You know that anything Lucite catches my eye, so it should come as no surprise that I'm digging this Gracious Home Lucite Fold-Away Chair ($54.99, reduced from $129.99). It's ideal for those of you living in a small space, such as a studio, as it folds away for easy storage, and when it's in use, its visual footprint is light as well. For those of you who entertain often, it's always smart to have some stylish folding chairs stashed away somewhere.

As you know, I'm an enthusiast of both acrylic furniture and modern décor, so it sounded right up my alley.

Much like the Philippe Starck Louis Ghost Chair, the Aaron R. Thomas Acrylic Lounge Chair ($1,480) takes a modern twist on a design classic by re-envisioning it in acrylic. In this case, the classic is the Molded Plywood Lounge Chair, designed by Charles and Ray Eames in 1946.

For the next round of this game, look at each of the acrylic tables in figure A and B and guess which one is more expensive. In each case, one of the tables was designed by one of our Designer Spotlights, and the other is a (very good) knock-off.

Aaron R. Thomas's Acrylic Christmas Trees are back this year due to popular demand. It's the most retro holiday "tree" I've seen yet, but it's certainly not as festive as the Unica Home Bottle Brush Tree.

Dating back to the 1500s, etching, using acid or mordant to cut into a material, is certainly a thing of the past. There's actually an old cliché that I love: in an effort to entice a woman home with him, a man will say, "Want to come up and see my etchings?" as an offer to come look at something artistic.
